League of Legends

League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena video game, which pits two teams of up to five superpower wielding champions against each other in a fast-paced and intense battlefield. Melee your way through waves of minions and tackle an enemy turret on your way to annihilating the nexus in your enemy’s base to score your team the victory.
